Adam Travis President and CEO of Colorado states: "Although we started drilling only 7 short weeks ago, we already have our second set of assay results from Inel drillholes 9-30. They have clearly demonstrated some very significant high grade gold results up to 5.3 ounces/tonne gold over 1.0 m highlighted in the following table². We are also seeing broader intervals (20 to 99 m) returning > 1 g/t Au attesting to the robust nature of the mineralized system. We have met this year's work commitment and given our continued success we have elected to expand our drill program and should be at the 51% earn in level expenditures by the end of this field season more than a year ahead of schedule. The expanded and accelerated program will focus on follow up of the current drill results at Inel and also commence drilling on the Khyber target located 2 km to the south of Inel. There's plenty of room at Inel for more mineralization as our first pass drilling has tested only about 13% of this impressive soil anomaly on a very broad pattern. This will also be our first drilling in the Khyber area this year and our approach to testing this zone is based on the knowledge gained from our drilling at Inel. The Inel and Khyber Target Zones represent an area of approximately 10 km ² of the > 300 km ² KSP property, which has been recognized by government geologists as highly prospective with a geological setting similar to the KSM** and Pretium** camps located 30 kilometres to the east. Field crews have also been busy expanding soil coverage and examining/sampling out-crops to the north of Inel and other prospective areas of this large district under Colorado's control.

Inel Drilling - Holes 9-30 of 40 drillholes completed to date, Values to 5.3 opt Gold

Since drilling commenced at Inel on June 19, 2016 a total of 40 drillholes (5,481.9 m) have been completed. Complete assay results have been received for the first 30 drillholes at Inel and significant results from Drillholes 9-30 are noted in the following table and shown on the attached figure (see News Release dated July 19, 2016 for Holes 1-8).

2016 Work Commitments Met, Program Expanded Drilling Continues

Although Colorado has met its 2016 work commitments, based on the election to continue drilling the Company will work towards the 51% earn in level. Upon declaring that it has satisfied the 51% earn in requirements Colorado at its election would then have the right to earn up to 80% in the KSP Property by incurring a further $4M in work commitments within one year.

Khyber Drilling Commenced and Inel Drilling to Continue

Drilling has commenced on the Khyber Zone located approximately 2 kilometres to the south of Inel. Initial drill testing at Khyber will focus on a 500 m x 1500 m gold in soil anomaly averaging > 500 ppb gold. This anomaly coincides with the favourable well mineralized volcanic - sediment contact that also was noted at Inel. Work will also continue at Inel, targeting extension drilling in areas that are returning high grade results.

Qualified Person

Greg Dawson P.Geo, the Company's Vice President of Exploration is the Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument 43-101 that has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release.

QA/QC Statement

The 2016 samples were analyzed by ALS Minerals of Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples were prepared by the Prep-31b method, which involves crushing the entire sample to 70% passing -2mm, splitting off 1kg and pulverizing the split to better than 85% passing 75 microns. Base metal assays were first determined using the ME-ICP61 method, which reports results as parts per million (ppm). Any samples containing greater than 10,000 ppm zinc were analyzed by the Zn-OG62 method, which reports results as percent. Any samples containing greater than 100 ppm silver were analyzed by the Ag-OG62 method, which reports results as ppm. The gold assays were determined using the Au-AA25 fire assay method which reports results in ppm and are equivalent to grams per tonne (g/t). Any samples returning greater than 100 ppm gold were analyzed by the Au-GRA21 fire assay method with a gravimetric finish. The analytical results were verified with the application of industry standard Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA-QC) procedures.
